And he is accused of grooming another grade-school girl by showing her sex videos, according to court documents. The victim reportedly told investigators at the Sexual Assault Response Center that Larralde took pictures of them naked and had oral sex with her in 2010, according to court documents.

Man accused of thefts from former employer

A 43-year-old Richland man accused of stealing from his former employer won't enter his plea for another two weeks.

Richard Robson Trott is accused of refusing to return Talion Construction's property after he quit his job with the construction company.

He is charged with second-degree theft.

In February, Trott wrote checks worth about $3,686 to vendors and signed owner Soren Peterson's name without Peterson's authorization, according to court documents. Trott also allegedly had two homeowners write personal checks to him for work the company did.

Trott's defense attorney Patrick McBurney was unavailable Tuesday, so the case was postponed until McBurney could be present.
